just wanted to give a quick comment before going to bed. nice song and i was following it just fine until chorus two. that threw me for a loop. all the sudden you get serious and talk about a knife to the back and then the song is over. didn't care for that whole chorus. the idea for the song is a good one, talking about a picture you know nothing about brightens your day. keep the song light and impersonal then the whole way through.

well since you do have the line "Has a sad story to tell" then you repeast verse one, you could have a verse about the fact that you don't even want to know the story behind it since it is a sad one and that it knowing the sad story would cause the picture not to brighten your day any longer.

i reread chorus one and i don't really understand what it means and the direction you are taking the song in with it.

Not sure on what to call it but here it is:

(Verse One)
The picture on the wall,
Means nothing to me,
Nothing at all,
But there's one thing I can say,
This picture on the wall,
Brightens my day.

(Verse Two)
Enlightened faces,
Staring eyes,
Happy days,
Awesome times,
But nothing lasts…
Forever…

(Chorus One)
What went so wrong?
I don't know,
Please tell me now,
Before it's too long,
The picture on the wall,
Has a sad story to tell.

(Verse One)
The picture on the wall,
Means nothing to me,
Nothing at all,
But there's one thing I can say,
This picture on the wall,
Brightens my day.

(Chorus Two)
Good times and bad times,
We all have our day,
But who deserves that?
